Description
I have many different controllers some of which is xinput. I can't map all of them, because old
controller mapping file replacing with new controller mapping file after i map new controller. I just can't use them normaly. You can make so user can make own mapping configs and choose them for every controller from "controller mapping" menu from start page.
Opens retroarch - go to controller mapping - choose map file for controller, that you use right now
And an indicator, that show on which controller (controller 1, 2, 3 or 4) button is pressed right now would be helpful
